Hilton Hhonors Credit Card From American Express
Highly recommend that credit card if you travel a lot, pay your statement balance in full each month and prefer to stay in a hilton family chain of hotel while on travel.
The only negatives on it is AMEX is not as widely accepted as VISA/MC/Discover because of their higher fees to merchants, therefore recommend you have at least a VISA or MC in your wallet as a backup card. Also the initial credit limit I received with this card was extremely low (compared to my other credit cards I received).
After having it 6 months the credit limit was raised substantially enough to allow me to use this card as my primary card and in the course of a few years is right up there with my other credit cards credit limit without having to ask for a credit line increase.
